Podgrab VS RSS-Bridge

I use Podgrab[0].

Light footprint, easy to use -- and no reliance on Google or anyone else.

I found a great tool for myself as a programmer here but not everybody knows how to set that up https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab. So I build a simple little website here for anybody who has the same problem.

Something podgrab could fix? https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab

How does it compare to podgrab?

I created an alternative for [Podgrab](https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab) named [PodFetch](https://github.com/SamTV12345/PodFetch) it contains more features than Podgrab and also includes many bug fixes like a local RSS feed. (Bonus: The backend is written in Rust :D ). You can search podcasts via iTunes or via PodcastIndex.org, download, find local podcasts or subscribe to the local rss feeds.

Podgrab to download my podcasts

I am thinking that if users are willing to automate a workflow to download new episodes to their Plex Library ( just came across podgrab (https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab) which makes me think automating episode download to Plex library should be easy. And then your podcast app can do the magic you have done with Prologue.

It looks like there's an option to export an OPML file containing Podgrab feed links, which could then be imported into any application (I like AntennaPod)

> make the calendar available via rss.

I've thought a lot about ICS/RSS combinations[0], and my current stance is that while they achieve similar things in some cases, RSS is meant for things that happened in the past (items in the future may or may not show in your client), and calendars are meant for future events. This incompatibility makes it hard to do RSS feeds for events, unless you use event-publication-date, which has its own issues.

I've instead been working on custom calendars for sites I care about.[1] is one such attempt from someone else, but I've been focusing on simpler options[2]

There's also the problem that both Android and Windows are horrible with webcal (iOS/MacOS/Linux work decently well), making "subscribable web calendars" out of reach of most Android users, unless the understand the terrible UX that these platforms offer.

rss bridge [1] seems to do the same, but it's not coupled to any rss reader

There's also RSS-Bridge: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

"The RSS feed for websites missing it"

That is cool for a local feed. Have you tried it on a server?

I am able to get a lot of generally unavailable feeds using https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge running on my server. Perhaps this code could be someday brought in as a catch-all last resort.

Since everything worked as intended, I created a pull request to the RSS-Bridge repository and after a few hours my code was merged and now every public server will have a new Ko-Fi bridge for everyone to use. And since this is something I will use for myself, I will make sure to maintain it as long as possible.

I use RSS Bridge although it's unfortunate that I have to. Plus in the past week or two spam has been getting through into it which is lovely.

RSS-Bridge has a Google search adapter. You can also fake it with Searx (which offers RSS feeds of search results).
